Beginning March 20th, 2016 Poetry Breakfast will once again serve a little poetic nourishment every morning. Start your day with our new expanded menu. Poems, of course, are our specialty. But we will also be serving a fuller menu that includes poetry related creative non-fiction such as letters to and from poets, essays on poetry, and anything else that might feed a poet and poetry lover’s soul.

Seun Adelekan

I watch I wait I listen
For the sound of the heavens
Moving and spooling
Over the shadows of the universe

I watch I wait I listen
For the call of destiny
Watching and guiding
The movement of life

I watch
For signs of a beat
For signs of a thump
For signs of triumph

I listen
For the beat of a heart
For the beat of a mind
For the beat of a soul

Verily verily I say unto thee
The soul of man starts with nothing
But a beat
